. >>> the tragic stage collapse at the indiana state fair last month. you'll recall seven people died when scaffolding gave way during a thunderstorm. dozens more were injured. including alicia brennan who lost a partner in the wreckage. she's joining a federal lawsuit trying to force indiana to raise its cap on damages and recognize same sex couples who may not be entitled to payment otherwise. the audience was told conditions were safe, and quickly discovered they were not. >> and not five minutes later i was knocked unconscious with her right in front of me on the grou ground. i never saw her again. >> a tribute over the weekend to a boy who took part in the "it gets better campaign." he then later took his own life. he made a big impression on lady gaga who remembered him at the keyboard. >> tonight, jamey, i know you're out there. you're another victim, you're a lesson to all of us. tonight, i know it's a bit of a downer, but sometimes the right thing's more important than the music, isn't it? [ cheers and applause ] >> let's do this one for jamey.
